چکیده

Over the last two decades my colleagues and I have assembled literature on a good percentage of most coccidians (Conoidasida) known, to date, parasitise: Amphibia, four major lineages Reptilia (Amphisbaenia, Chelonia, Crocodylia, Serpentes), seven orders in Mammalia (Carnivora, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, Insectivora, Marsupialia, Primates, Scandentia). These vertebrates, combined, comprise about 15,225 species; only 899 (5.8%) them been surveyed for coccidia 1,946 apicomplexan valid species names or other forms are recorded literature. Based these compilations factors, extrapolated that there yet may be an additional 31,381 new apicomplexans still discovered just 12 vertebrate groups. Extending concept all extant vertebrates Earth; i.e. lizards (6,300 spp.), rodents plus minor mammals (3,180 birds (10,000 fishes (33,000 spp.) and, conservatively assuming unique per each host species, extrapolate extend prediction we eventually find 135,000 need discovery described from those not examined them! Even doubling number is significant underestimation opinion.
